Brendan Gaughan says he "doesn't really care anymore"
about behind-the-scenes maneuvering at Penske-Jasper Motorsports, and
is concentrating on the next three races. Asked about Penske Racing's
decision to field a fourth car at Martinsville and Atlanta for former
Truck Series champion Travis Kvapil, Gaughan told MRN Radio/Sirius
Speedway's Dave Moody that the situation is frustrating. "Stuff we've
been asking for all season and not getting, all of a sudden they've
got it," he said. "I can't do anything about it, and I really don't
care anymore. All I can do is take what they give me and do my best
with it, and the last couple of weeks, it's been pretty good." Gaughan
declined to comment on rumors that he has spoken with Haas CNC Racing
about replacing Ward Burton next season, saying, "If other people are
looking at me and liking what they see, I'm flattered. But right now,
I'm focused on the last three races of the season. After that, we'll
worry about what comes next."(MRN Radio/Sirius Speedway)
